There will be significant impact to the following neighborhoods <br />French Court, Willard, Logan, Lacy, Downtown, and French Park <br />Why is the developer being allowed to convert 50% of the project to Market — rate family apartments without the <br />inclusion of affordable units? In Los Angeles it is 15% and San Francisco is 20%. An in lieu fee does nothing to help <br />the housing situation that all of our City leaders espouse whenever they are considering more development. These <br />units need to be part of the actual build. <br />After so many years have passed a new Development Agreement needs to be prepared, which should include <br />community benefits with Developer funding, open space, traffic mitigation, etc. <br />As for the EIR, consider the traffic when this EIR was done and traffic now. It has increased significantly and adding <br />that to the soon to be developed Main Place should make a new one a necessity. <br />This city needs developers who actually live here so that they feel the impact of their decisions. It is very easy to live <br />in Newport Beach and make decisions about what should go on in Santa Ana. I cannot understand why more <br />planners and council -members do not take effrontery to this blatant exploitation of our citizenry. <br />Please delay the public hearing on this until November when the "public" can actually participate in the process. A <br />project evaluation after the Update to the City's General Plan and hopes for a much smaller footprint for this project <br />would be hoped for. <br />Density is not the best choice for Santa Ana. We need to look towards creating lower density, attractive <br />neighborhoods for our citizens. <br />Sincerely, <br />Deborah Hicks - DeBach <br />Santa Ana Resident <br />�5 <br />
